Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Place the dates in a small bowl.
- Sprinkle the baking soda over the dates.
- Pour 1 cup of boiling water over the dates and baking soda. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes to soften the dates.
- While the dates are soaking, toast the hazelnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently until they are golden brown and fragrant.
- Once toasted, set them aside to cool slightly, then roughly chop.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the bananas and vegetable oil. Blend until the mixture is smooth.
- After the dates have softened, pour the date mixture into the blender with the bananas and oil. Blend until smooth.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and chopped hazelnuts.
- Pour the wet banana-date mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until well combined.
- Grease a baking dish (around 8x8 inches) with a bit of vegetable oil or line it with parchment paper.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the pudding is set in the middle and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow the pudding to cool in the dish for about 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm, possibly with a scoop of ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel syrup if desired.
Tips:
- Soak the dates in hot water for about 10 minutes to soften them before using.
- Blend the dates and water together to create a smooth paste for an even texture.
- Use ripe bananas for a naturally sweeter taste.
- If you prefer, you can substitute vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.
- Serve the pudding warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
